In the affairs of this world, men are saved not by faith, but by the want of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We should know that faith is a gift of God, and that it may not be given to men, except it be graciously. Thus, indeed, all the good which we have is of God; and accordingly, when God rewardeth a good work of man, he crowneth his own gift.
No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.
Men freely believe that which they desire.
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.
The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.
Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith.
Some men are willing to die for their faith, but they are not willing to fully live for it. Christ both lived and died for us.
Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God's grace.
Human misery is too great for men to do without faith.
A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing.
